Why the Detroit Tigers think 17-year-old prospect Roberto Campos will become a star slugger

Detroit Tigers outfielder Roberto Campos was supposed to play in the Dominican Summer League this past season before making his way to the United States in 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemic nixed the Dominican Summer League on June 30 and halted the Tigers' plan for Campos. Still, the 17-year-old — who signed with the organization in July 2019 for a $2.85 million bonus — is getting stronger. And his baseball instincts are improving.

He continues to prepare for his U.S. arrival.

Campos, a representation of the third wave of prospects in the rebuild, is still in the Dominican Republic.
